ELECTRIC CARS
Electric cars are not a new idea People have been working on developing electric cars since the
1960s! So, what has been taking them so long to hit the road? Most electric cars were designed to use
big batteries These large, heavy devices had to be recharged between uses The cars could not go very far before they needed to be recharged Then, recharging the batteries took a long time Needless
to say, not many people were willing to give up their reliable gas-powered cars for such
an alternative.
Then, in 2000, two car companies began selling “hybrid” electric cars These electric cars used gasoline in addition to electricity, but they never had to be recharged! The electric car finally had
both a workable and marketable design
